Chapter 1284: Investigate

“Who knows if Shangguan Yue is in the Sky-Cloud Empire?” At this point, Jiang Zhiyuan’s mind was extremely clear. She clenched her teeth and couldn’t hide her jealousy. “Rong Xiu dotes on her so much and would even risk offending the venerables for her. He could just silently send her out.”

Anyway, other than himself, only his confidants can go to his bedroom. If something really happens, how would outsiders know??Jiang Zhiyuan increasingly felt that her suspicions could be true. “I wrote the letter to you because I originally wanted you to check on the situation in the Sky-Cloud Empire. Yet, this letter was intercepted. It shows that… someone is stopping me from investigating Chu Yue!”

Jiang Zhiyuan’s words tempted Jiang Hetian. “Your guess isn’t illogical, but now… The Sky-Cloud Empire is heavily guarded and has strong defenses. It’s as hard as ascending to the sky to find out about something, let alone those core members… Zhiyuan, you’re really putting me in a difficult spot this time!”

Jiang Zhiyuan was slightly dazed. “How could this be? Didn’t we previously have a—”

Jiang Hetian instantly looked at her alertly.

Jiang Zhiyuan hurriedly shut her mouth.

“After the selection of the princess consort, the situation drastically changed at the Sky-Cloud Empire. Some people are as good as being powerless…”

On the surface, Rong Xiu didn’t do anything and just left for Ling Xiao Academy. But in actual fact, he had already set up a plan in secret and was extremely accurate and harsh in attacking, not even giving others any time to retaliate.

Now, those people were in perilous situations themselves. How would they help them?

Ever since Jiang Zhiyuan lost the position of princess consort, their attitudes toward Fairy Water Mound had been becoming increasingly negative by the day.

Jiang Zhiyuan’s heart gradually sank. “Is there really no other way?”

“Sigh…” Jiang Hetian shook his head and sighed. “If the clan leader came out of seclusion now, perhaps he could put in a word for us. But now…”

Nobody knew when the clan leader could come out, but with the current situation, how could they afford to wait?

The father and daughter fell silent together.

The room was completely quiet.

After a while, Jiang Zhiyuan suddenly said, “Let’s check on Shangguan Yue then!”

Jiang Hetian was dazed. “What?”

Jiang Zhiyuan squinted her eyes and said every word carefully, “Rong Xiu personally admitted that this Shangguan Yue was a woman he had a marriage agreement with when he was at Country Yao Chen back then. If we want to check on this Shangguan Yue’s background, we can directly send someone over and know about it! Perhaps that Chu Yue is also from that place, and we can find out something!”

Jiang Zhiyuan increasingly felt that this plan would work. “Father, we need to know our enemies to win!”

However, Jiang Hetian was still rather hesitant. “It’s not that we can’t, but… If Rong Xiu knows that we’re secretly checking the princess consort’s status…”

“So what if he knows?” Jiang Zhiyuan sneered. “The Sky-Cloud Empire’s princess consort should have a distinguished background, and she needs to be legitimate! If she can’t even undergo such a check, it just proves that her identity is problematic and that she’s not worthy of being the princess consort!”

Jiang Hetian sighed in his heart.?This daughter is good at everything, but she becomes especially impulsive and unrealistic every time it is something related to Rong Xiu. That Shangguan Yue is no longer just a candidate for the princess consort position. She is now a legitimate princess consort. Some things cannot be done like before, but Zhiyuan doesn’t seem to realize this.?

“Father?” Seeing that Jiang Hetian hadn’t made a response for so long, Jiang Zhiyuan couldn’t help but knit her brows slightly.

When Jiang Hetian saw her behavior, his heart ached, and he could only nod. “Okay, I’ll send someone to check on her later.”

Jiang Zhiyuan was then satisfied. “Thank you, Father! I knew you were the best to me!”

Jiang Hetian laughed out loud and patted her head. “Okay, you can rest assured now, right? Look at how dirty you are; you must’ve come back in a hurry. Was the journey tough? Go have a hot shower and rest.”

Jiang Zhiyuan was very touched and forcefully nodded.

However, Jiang Hetian’s next sentence caused her smile to freeze. “Oh right, how long of a leave did you take from Elder Dan Qing this time?”

After hesitating for a while, Jiang Zhiyuan vaguely replied, “I didn’t specify a time… I just wanted to come back, so I told Mentor that I’d head back to the academy after I settled my private matters. Mentor also agreed.”

“Huh? You didn’t say a time?” Jiang Hetian was very surprised. “Then, you mustn’t neglect your work at the academy.”

Previously, Jiang Zhiyuan had already taken leave for the Sky-Cloud Empire’s princess consort selection. It hadn’t been long since then, yet she took leave again and didn’t even specify the duration this time. Elder Dan Qing might overthink it.

Besides, if the news got out, it wouldn’t be good.

“The strong will be respected. No matter what, you can get everything you want as long as you’re strong enough!”

“Father, you’re worrying too much. I won’t.” Jiang Zhiyuan forced a smile. “Since when have I been behind others on this? After I’ve rested at home, I’ll go back.”

Jiang Hetian then felt more assured and nodded. “You’re always the most obedient one; I would say much more about the others. You should know what to do.”

Jiang Zhiyuan could only force herself to acknowledge it.

The father and daughter talked for a while longer before they went back on their own.

Jiang Zhiyuan went back to rest, and Jiang Hetian started sending people to investigate Shangguan Yue.

The Jiang residence was still calm and peaceful as if there weren’t much difference from before.

Ling Xiao Academy.

A month hurriedly passed. In the blink of an eye, it was the last day of Chu Liuyue being locked up in Fiend Park.

Early in the morning, Chu Liuyue woke up.

She absorbed the force and circulated it. After allowing the force to circulate for a Heavenly Cycle in her body, she widened her eyes again and breathed out slowly.

She felt rejuvenated. She had to admit that she felt very comfortable and free during this one month. After all, not everybody had the chance to fight with so many incredible fiends.

At this time, a familiar voice came from outside. “Chu Yue, you can go out today!”

Elder Shu Yu was calling her from outside.

Ah Qiong and Tao Tao looked over.

Chu Liuyue stood up, tidied her clothes, and smiled brightly at them. “I’m leaving today!”

Ah Qiong seemed reluctant. After some hesitation, Tao Tao walked to the cave entrance and sat down, rejection written all over its body.

Chu Liuyue was caught between laughter and tears. “Tao Tao, are you stopping me from leaving?”

Tao Tao turned its head and refused to speak in a very stubborn manner.

Chu Liuyue’s heart felt warm. Actually, she became much closer to Tao Tao during this period of interaction. She also felt very reluctant to leave just like that.

“Don’t worry. I’ll still be in the academy in the future. When I have the chance, I’ll come over and visit you.”

“Chu Yue?” Seeing that the person hadn’t come out yet, Elder Shu Yu urged.

Chu Liuyue walked over and patted Ah Qiong and Tao Tao.

Tao Tao then obediently made way and looked at Chu Liuyue with grievances.

Da!

A fist-sized tear dropped down and landed on Chu Liuyue’s hand.
